The second I walked into Novellas when we went for a tour I knew that’s where I wanted to get married. The bridal suite was absolutely gorgeous. There was plenty of room to get ready and relax the morning of our wedding. I was able to connect my phone to the sound system so we could listen to music while we got ready. We had access to the bridal suite throughout the wedding which was great. The outside ceremony and cocktail hour space were both so beautiful. The waterfall is the perfect background for taking photos. When I walked into the reception space I completely fell in love. The chandeliers are stunning and the room just feels luxurious. Bryce, the manager, was phenomenal with communication. I received a response back within a day which was great. He was truly so flexible and there wasn’t much of a limit of things we couldn’t do. I wanted to get on top of the bar and pour shots into our guests mouths and I know it sounds like a crazy idea but you only get one wedding. I told Bryce that’s what I wanted to do and he said I could absolutely do that. That was my favorite part of the night! Novellas also offered the outside space to be used for the after party which was great. We ordered pizza from a local pizzeria and had that delivered and we brought coolers of beer and seltzers and hung outside by the fire pit until 2 in the morning. There are also two hotels that are walkable from Novellas because they essentially share a parking lot. That was also one of the reasons I chose Novellas. I didn’t have to worry about our guests not having a ride home or having to find someone to drive them home. Our guests were able to walk right to their hotel room.
Courtney is the day of coordinator and she was absolutely phenomenal! She truly went above and beyond for us. She came to check on me the day of the wedding in the bridal suite multiple times. I was so anxious the morning of that I was just walking back and forth in the venue and I kept apologizing to her and she said whatever I needed to do and I wasn’t in the way. She set up everything for us the day of the wedding and it was absolutely gorgeous. I had given her a list of all the decor I had and where I wanted it and she set everything up just how I envisioned it. She was phenomenal the whole day and she kept everything running smoothly. She was on top of everything. We never had to ask for anything. When we thought of something or we needed something we would turn around and it would always be done or she would have what we needed. After our ceremony, Courtney was waiting with a drink in her hands for us and a smile on her face. This was truly the perfect venue for the best day of our lives.

We had our sorority formal here a decade ago and again this past weekend. They did an INCREDIBLE job! Thanks novellas for being the best of the best in the Hudson valley

I’ve been to Novella’s for several events over the years, and it is definitely one of the best venues in the Hudson Valley for events of all kinds. At the several weddings I’ve been to there, the staff have been extremely professional and attentive, and go out of their way to make sure the experience is the best it can possibly be. Bryce, the general manager, is especially attentive to the needs of everyone at the event and makes a point of ensuring that everyone is enjoying themselves. Add in great drinks, great food and an awesome environment with a couple of special outdoor areas and you have one of the premier venues in the area. Highly recommended!

We had a great experience with the venue. The staff was kind and attentive, shout out to Bryce (event planner). The decor was updated prior to our event and that really added to the romantic vibe of the space. The food was absolutely amazing, all of our guests were raving about it. Two things that bothered my husband and I was our plates were taken before we finished eating and no one touched base about instructions for our floral arrangements (they were removed from the tables and that was that). Other than that, a wonderful experience.

So my cousin ended up booking this venue for her wedding. Might I say that I was blown away by this venue and what it had/has to offer. Seriously, this venue is a total gem! From the moment you walk in, the decor is just stunning!! It's classy, modern, and perfectly set the mood without feeling stuffy. And let's talk about the food and drinks! The drink options were absolutely abundant. I'm talking top-shelf choices, fun cocktails, and everything in between. The dinner service they offer is fantastic, too. It’s awesome that they have different styles and options for dinner, plus they have add-ons, so you can truly customize your experience. It felt high-end without the high-end hassle. I actually found myself telling my sister that she should seriously consider getting married here! Or, at the very least, we should host our next high school reunion here (me and the bride are the same age) it’s honestly the perfect space for a big, memorable event. On top of everything the staff was incredible. If you are looking for a venue that delivers on beautiful ambiance, fantastic food/drink variety, and an awesome, stress-free, all-inclusive package, book this place immediately! You won't regret it.

Watching your sister get ready for her wedding is emotional in ways you don’t expect. You want everything to be perfect for her, and you’re constantly hoping the people around her are taking care of her the way she deserves. Novellas absolutely did that and more.

From the moment we arrived, the staff made the entire experience feel calm and organized, which is priceless on a wedding day. The space was beautiful, but what stood out most was how smoothly everything was handled behind the scenes. It allowed our family to focus on being present instead of stressed.

Bryce, the manager, was incredible throughout everything. He was attentive without being overwhelming and genuinely made sure my sister felt supported during the most nerve-wracking parts of getting ready for her big day. Knowing he was there gave all of us peace of mind. As a sister, that meant everything. Novellas isn’t just a venue that looks good in photos, it’s a place run by people who truly care. I couldn’t have asked for a better environment for such an important day, and I’d confidently recommend Novellas to anyone who wants both professionalism and heart.

– Truly Exceptional ✨

From the moment we walked into Novellas, we knew we were in the right place. The venue itself is stunning—elegant, warm, and thoughtfully designed to make the entire wedding day flow seamlessly. Everything feels intentional, beautiful, and stress-free, which is exactly what you hope for during such a big moment in your life. What truly sets Novellas apart, though, is the incredible staff. Every single person we interacted with was kind, attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our experience perfect. During an already stressful time we felt completely supported and cared for. A special shoutout to Bryce, the manager, who went above and beyond for us. Bryce made us feel so welcomed from day one and was a calming, reassuring presence throughout the entire process. He took the time to check in, answer questions, and make sure everything felt right—not rushed or overwhelming. Knowing someone like him was there truly lifted so much weight off our shoulders. Novellas isn’t just a venue, it’s a team that treats you like family and makes you feel confident that your day is in the best hands possible. We are endlessly grateful for the care, professionalism, and heart they put into everything. If you’re looking for a place that combines beauty, organization, and outstanding people, Novellas is it. 💫💍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As a mom, this place truly meant everything to me. From the moment we walked in, I knew my daughter was in the best hands. The staff treated her with so much kindness. Seeing my daughter so calm and happy allowed me to relax and let me help her take care of other things. They don’t just host events; they truly cared for my child, and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for.I cannot recommend this venue enough. If you’re a parent looking for a place where your child will be loved, supported, and looked after, this is it!!!

Novellas is a True Lifesaver

Planning a wedding can be incredibly overwhelming, and my bride was feeling stressed and stretched in every direction up until we found Novellas. From the very first interaction, everything changed for the better. The team at Novellas was warm, patient, and genuinely helpful in a way that immediately put her at ease. Instead of feeling rushed or pressured, she felt heard. Questions were answered thoroughly, details were explained clearly, and every concern was met with reassurance and solutions. You could actually see the stress start to lift. The space itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, but what truly makes Novellas exceptional is the people who run it. Every staff member was attentive, organized, and kind, making sure nothing felt chaotic or overwhelming. Novellas didn’t just provide a venue; they provided peace of mind. I would recommend this place without hesitation to anyone looking for a place to hold their event.

Our wedding at Novellas was everything we dreamed of and more. The moment we arrived, we knew it was the perfect place for us. While there weren’t large garden areas, the spaces that were there were lovely, just enough to give us some beautiful backdrops for our photos, which turned out absolutely amazing. The venue had such a charming atmosphere and a romantic feel that made the whole day feel special.
Everything came together beautifully, from the ceremony to the reception. The décor I made looked incredible in their reception, the food was delicious, the drinks was flowing, and the entire setting created such an unforgettable experience. It truly felt like our very own fairytale.
One of the biggest reasons we chose Novella’s ,besides how beautiful it is—was the owner, Bryce. He was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. He’s very understanding, funny, and incredibly professional. He kept it real from the very beginning, which made us feel comfortable and confident in our decision. His honesty and down-to-earth personality made planning so much easier and even enjoyable.
There were a few slight delay with setup, but honestly, it didn’t take away from how magical the day felt. Once everything started, we were completely swept up in the moment and surrounded by love, joy, and laughter.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that’s elegant, intimate, and filled with charm, Novellas is the perfect choice. We’ll cherish our memories there forever

I do not have enough words to express how incredible our wedding experience was at Novella’s! From our first meeting, to our final exit the night of our wedding, we experienced the highest level of hospitality and service. Our guests raved about the food, the atmosphere and the staff! Everyone was super friendly, attentive and accommodating.

Working with Bryce was like working with a life long friend. He was quick to respond to emails, kept us on track with our planning and brought so much ease to the process. We had full confidence in his team and were able to enjoy our day start to finish.

Courtney was an absolute gem! Her and her team truly brought our vision to life on the overnight. She was so attentive throughout our day and I was so lucky to have her to lean on!

We also hired their DJ recommendation All Occasions Music - Tom and Mark did not disappoint! Our dance floor was packed start to finish.

I could go on and on. The rave reviews do not lie. This is the place you are looking for!

We celebrated my daughters wedding at Novella this weekend. It was amazing in every way!! The food was great, the venue so beautiful, they only cater to one wedding at a time and they treat you like royalty. All staff were fantastic but I must give a shoutout to Courtney, she was incredible at her job! She made sure everything ran smoothly, went out of her way to ensure everyone had what they needed and you really felt pampered in her care. She is an amazing asset to this venue!! Brice the General Manager was very detail oriented and handled all aspects of our planning incredibly well. This is an amazingly well run venue with good people who treat you with care and we highly recommend it!!
